The current mayor of S\u00e3o Paulo, Ricardo Nunes, has 55% of the vote in S\u00e3o Paulo, according to a Datafolha Institute poll released on Thursday (10). Federal deputy and left-wing candidate supported by President Lula (Workers’ Party) Guilherme Boulos has 33%. This is the first Datafolha poll after the voting on Sunday (6).<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n People who declared their intention to vote null or blank vote are 10%. Those who don’t know who they will vote for account for 2%. Of the S\u00e3o Paulo residents who voted for the far-right candidate Pablo Mar\u00e7al in the first round, 84% said they would vote for Nunes and only 4% for Boulos.<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Some of Brazil’s biggest newspapers and news outlet,\u00a0Folha de S.Paulo<\/em> and Rede Globo<\/em> commissioned the poll. Between October 8 and 10, 1,204 voters were interviewed. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points, with a 95% confidence level.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Results at the polls\u00a0<\/p>\n Nunes had 29.48% of the valid votes on Sunday (6), just over 1.8 million. Boulos came very close, with the preference of 1.77 million voters, representing 29.07%.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In the Datafolha survey, released on October 5, the day before the election, Boulos came in first with 27% of voting intentions, followed by Nunes and Mar\u00e7al with 24%. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n A debate without the current mayor\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n At the beginning of the week, the Ricardo Nunes campaign\u00a0team\u00a0asked the media outlets to hold a pool when companies come together to promote joint debates<\/a> to reduce the number of meetings. Three events were suggested, which is the limit of debates held between the first and second rounds in S\u00e3o Paulo since 1992. “It’s impossible to meet the requests for debates, individual interviews, media demands, and the daily actions of the electoral period,” said Nunes in a note sent to the press. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Without proof, Boulos took advantage of Nunes’ absence to criticize him and make accusations. “I would like to express my regret that the current mayor and candidate, Ricardo Nunes, ran away from the debate. This is bad for democracy. Although this is disrespectful and regrettable for the voters of S\u00e3o Paulo, it didn’t surprise me because the same candidate who is now running away from responding to society and debating ideas was the mayor who, for three and a half years, ran away from two responsibilities,” said Boulos.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
